Audio Research filing for bankruptcy?


I just heard Audio Research might be filing for bankruptcy. This is a shock to me. I just called them a few days ago to have my Ref 6 upgraded to a Ref 6SE. I will also be the new owner of the Ref 750s. I was just wondering if they did go bankrupt what would all those millions of owners do about servicing their equipment. Should I be concerned? I’m alittle worried now.

@cleeds thanks for the updates, correction, and details.  It will be interesting to see if there is a way for some entity to step up and help carry this forward and not let ARC products get lost.

My only interest here is simply seeing American made home audio room products survive and stick around a while longer vs the new-era of iPhones and headphones. The next gen needs to experience this like we did.  Hope they can.

Same here. I wish ARC and all who work there the best. I'd feel that way if I didn't own ARC gear.

Seems that private equity has not hurt McIntosh Group at all:  

 McIntosh Group has been acquired by Highlander Partners, a Dallas-based private investment firm that manages over $2 billion in assets.
